#164 Navigating Our Friendships
Manage episode 446615495 series 3386451
We are all familiar with the pain of a breakup, whether it be through personal experience or anywhere in pop-culture today. Our society is so vocal about romantic loss, but a more common and oftentimes even more painful occurrence is the loss of a friend.
Kristen Reed Belveal is a jack of all trades: she's an author, podcaster, and mother who just recently launched a faith-based clothing line this year. Most notably, Kristen wrote a book called "When Best Friends Aren't Forever: A Faith-Filled Four-Week Guide for Healing After a Friendship Breakup", written from the desire for people to harness the natural grief of a friendship ending to intentionally mitigate bitterness and leverage sanctification.
The book delves into what a healthy friendship looks like: qualities like vulnerability, the ability to show up for one another in both difficult and prosperous seasons of life, and constructive criticism to help you increase in Godliness.
Conversely, unhealthy qualities in friendships can look like nitpicking the way you look and act with no edifying intention behind the criticism, encouraging destructive patterns in each other's life and codependency may mean that the friendship is leading you astray and may need to be reevaluated.
Kristen's book is available for purchase here, and her podcast called "Outside the Bubble" is available to listen to here.
